Different than most 121s, but kinda great!

Josh12/24/18

The 121s are my everyday, all-occasion jeans (color: Manteca is my jam), so I own 6 of them and have been ordering them for years. I figured I'd mix it up with a slightly darker, more formal pair, so I ordered the black Stay Sharp 121s.
As some of the other reviewers have mentioned, they are indeed sized differently than any other 121 I've owned: SLIGHTLY tighter at the same waist and inseam I've been buying for years.
At first, I was going to throw 'em back in the car for a speedy return, but then I spent 5 minutes walking around (and doing some high kicks / knees to be thorough) and completely changed my mind for one reason: the material is ALSO totally different, and justifies the tighter fit.
Unlike my usual jeans, the material here is just a *little* stretchy in all the right ways. Despite being more fitted, this allows me to move unrestricted, and feels far less baggy. I'm definitely not a "skinny jeans" kinda guy, but these I LIKE!
This is almost certainly a personal preference, so my recommendation:
if you want to mimic the same fit you've come to expect from a 121, order 1 size up in the waist. If you want to push your comfort zone and possibly discover a new preferred fit for this funky material, go into your Lucky store, suit up, and walk around in your original size for a minute. You might be surprised.
